Wisdom Teeth Removal in FiDi, NYC
Wisdom teeth are your third molars — the last teeth to come in, usually in the late teens and early twenties when the roots are still forming and removal is at its simplest. When they're positioned badly, crowding other teeth, or inviting infection, they need to come out. I'm Dr. Nina Izhaky, and our in-house oral surgeon at 54 Warren Street takes care of the whole process — evaluation, 3D imaging, surgery, follow-up — no referral slip, no unfamiliar office. From Wall Street or Stone Street it's a short walk, and you're back at your desk before the week is out.
Why our wisdom teeth care works in FiDi
Wisdom teeth need to come out when they're positioned badly, crowding other teeth, or inviting infection. Here's how we handle it — without a referral slip across town.
In-house oral surgeon.
Evaluation, surgery, and follow-up all happen here at 54 Warren Street with the team you already know — no referral to a stranger's office.
3D imaging before any decision.
We look at position, crowding, infection risk, and timing. In teens and young adults the roots aren't fully formed yet, which usually means an easier surgery and faster healing.
Honest about keeping them.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. If yours are healthy, well-positioned, and easy to clean, we'll tell you to keep them — and show you why on your own images.
Your airway evaluated too.
Our airway-focused orthodontist looks at how the jaws developed and whether the airway is narrow, alongside the wisdom-teeth question. It's the kind of joined-up thinking you only get with the whole team under one roof.
What wisdom tooth removal is like
One of the most common oral surgeries — routine, quick, and well planned.
Evaluation and 3D imaging.
We assess position, crowding, infection risk, and timing, then show you your own images and give you a straight answer — including whether removal can wait.
You're fully numb.
You'll be completely numb during the procedure. If you're anxious, we'll discuss sedation options with you before anything is scheduled.
The surgery itself.
The surgery is typically under an hour. Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most routine oral surgeries performed — the anticipation is almost always worse than the reality.
Recovery, honestly.
Plan on soft foods and some swelling for two to three days — no straws, no intense workouts for a bit. Most people are back to school or work within two to four days, and teens generally heal fastest. We give you clear written instructions and we're a phone call away.
One stop up from FiDi's financial core
A good share of our patients work in FiDi — the trading floors and banks around Wall Street, the firms in the towers by the World Trade Center, the crews on Stone Street after the closing bell. Our office at 54 Warren Street is one subway stop north of the financial core, which makes us the practical choice for early-morning appointments before the market opens or late-afternoon visits on the way home.
Getting here by subway
- A, C, E from Fulton Center to Chambers Street — one stop
- 2, 3 from Wall Street to Chambers Street
- 4, 5 from Wall Street to Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall, then a ten-minute walk
- J, Z from Broad Street to Chambers Street
- R, W from Cortlandt Street to City Hall
- PATH from the World Trade Center, then a short walk north to Warren Street
Driving and parking
FiDi commuters mostly don't drive in — and they shouldn't have to for us. The A/C/E from Fulton Center to Chambers is one stop; from the station it's a five-minute walk. Drivers will find attended garages on Warren and Greenwich Streets.
If You're Nervous, You're Not Alone
Most of the adults who walk into my office about their wisdom teeth have been avoiding this conversation for years — usually since someone first mentioned surgery a decade ago and they never went back. If that's you, here's what I want you to know: the fear is the normal part. The surgery is the routine part. Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most common oral surgeries there is, it's typically under an hour, and you're fully numb for all of it.
If being numb isn't enough to calm you down, we discuss sedation options at the consultation — before anything is scheduled, while you're calm and can ask questions. No one gets surprised in the chair. We also do the full evaluation here first: 3D imaging, position, crowding, infection risk, timing. You'll see your own images and get a straight answer, including the honest possibility that a well-positioned tooth should simply stay.
For FiDi professionals, the logistics are the easy part. Our office is right here in the neighborhood, everything happens under one roof with the team you know, and recovery is a couple of days — soft foods, some swelling for two to three days, no straws, no intense workouts — then you're back. The people who put this off the longest always tell me the same thing afterward: they wish they'd done it years earlier.
